It so happened that one mail; one moment made me scream with joy and pulled me out of Mo(a)nday mood. So in a very great mood I decided to jot down my list of blissful moments:
1. Top of my list; is moment of today - At 17:15 hrs HR drops a mail to all employees: "On account of the Gurgaon Panchayat Elections scheduled for Tuesday, 6th July 2010, all XXX units at Gurgaon will be closed for the day to allow employees to cast their vote."
I mean; come Monday and I am in worst of my moods and entire day I spend ranting about how bad life could be and why Mondays come and how will I manage to reach weekend :D and today was one such day.
Suddenly; there were thunderstorm and lightning and GOD told me "I Exist and I am listening to your prayers so I grant you a free off" ... Whoooooooooooooosh.......... and this girl was dancing; screaming and calling her friends.
Sheer Bliss :)
2. India vs Pakistan (Cricket Match) : Aaaah the joy of winning over Pakistan (if its Finals of some cup then its icing on cake); but even a galli match victory over Pakistan would feel equally great. Those nail biting finishes when these arch-rivals are contending; sledging (oops friendly interactions :D); that fire in eyes; aggression; heat...fingers crossed, goosebumps, emotions soaring... and VICTORY when last ball is bowled... Nothing can match this electrifying moment...
3. And when you are walking on road; engrossed in your "life ki tension" and there is this cute lil baby looking at you with her eyes wide open and suddenly gives you a smile... A smile that makes you forget everything... What could be more beautiful than seeing a baby smile at you... :)
4. You have been singing a song since days and you badly want to hear it and when you tune into Radio they are playing your favorite song... can any other feeling match this moment of elation ... qasam se - mood set hojata hai yaar.
5. When you are strolling on road and you get a 100rs note :D OK! Let me be frank; I have found such notes and I haven't left them lying on road to be crumpled beneath the feet of zaalim dunia . Its one of those yuhooooooooo moments.. isn't it ?
6. Seeing a dress exactly as you imagined in the showroom. Trust me! Its THE GREATEST feeling in the world; as though God is telling "I tailor-made it for you" :)
7. When in school/college we would hang out with our friend's circle where there would be this guy/gal we had hearts for..or may be the one we were dating... you know the "soft corner - special someone". There would come a beggar or a baba and begging for money and saying "bhagwaan tumhari jodi banaye rakhe" :D I know it sounds kind of cheesy but "mann karta hai sari jaydaad iske naam kar doon" :D
8. While travelling you have been madly thinking of pakoras and samosas and as you reach home; with your first step you can smell...aah rather FEEL the aroma of your on-your-way-dream food... What a moment :P I mean "maa ka pyar aur uska dular" nothing can beat that.
9. Now that I have named mommy dear; can pa be far behind. "Hotel ki roti ho ya ghoomne jana" ; mom would shun it and you run to dad and he agrees. Mom looks in anger and Dad says "chadd na yar..thoda enjoy bhi kara kar". Ahhhh... and we gush at our victory over mom :D
10. and when your kiddo sibling wants to say I Love You/Sorry/Thank You and cant just say it..You know how embarrassing and tough its to say such words to the people we love the most. Those cute little gestures - like relinquishing control of remote; bringing you chocolates; lying in your lap; dropping you emails; trying to hold you tight; picking up your plate :D ; not being able to meet your eyes... that make u smile from the heart to the eyes ...
11. I know 10 is a round figure... but this had to be listed ... Realizing that some-one is going ga-ga over you... Nothing could feel so heavenly..so special but to see that unsaid; unspoken; unadulterated and innocent love in some-one's eyes :) This is bliss.
Yes there are many more that I missed out - like walking in the rain... jumping on bed... pillow fight and chalk fight...maggie pakora in rains... paranthas at dhaba...noodles at hostel-cafe...but I'l keep them for some other time.
